The only North American woodpecker that stores and then hides the stored food.
The Red-headed Woodpecker is one of the most striking birds you’ll find in the forest, or, in our case, the backyard. Today Sher spotted a beautiful male on the tube feeder. He was hanging on the bottom of the feeder poking into the openings. This magnificent bird blessed us with his presence for a few minutes. We hope he’ll feel comfortable enough to return soon.

Love woodpeckers. They look just like the cartoon Woody Woodpecker!

I bet Walter Lantz used a Red-headed woodpecker as a model for Woody!
